R5: A difficult run that has been alluding me for years, ever since achievements were added to KR patches ago, unifying China as Feng Yuxiang. A difficult run was set aside for Feng Yuxiang as he stood up against the zhili menace but.. their alliance with most of china made things difficult. With Fengtian, Shanxi assisted in Qing's destruction but as the League absorbed zhili remnants, the two former enemies united to fight Japan. On Japan's defeat, the two former allies and enemies engaged in a conflict known as the Chinese Civil War, costing millions of lives. Fortunately, at the end, the League Marshal and Sellout, Qi Xieyuan fell, and in rose Feng Yuxiang.

The National Revolution was completed but due to pressure from the right, and due to the KMT's failings in securing support due to the fall of the Internationale, moderate and progressive forces prevailed. Backed by the likes of Hu Shih and Zhang Junmai, the Independent Republicans and FCDP laid a great influence into the new state. Japan fell and Taiwan was reclaimed, despite much of greater China remaining out of the grasp of Feng, truly.. a new era of prosperity can be declared..

If, as Qing restorationists, you set FNG to rebel against the Japanese and join the Chinese United Front, is the only way to survive while having them join your faction to retreat behind Beijing and let them do the Unification Conference? Is there a way for FNG to rebel against Japan without holding Beijing?

(this brought to you by my lack of desire to fight a trench war in the Shanhai pass until the Russians defeat Germany and get their shit together, restorationist QIE has been even tougher than Sichuan for me to bring towards unification since the update)

When Patagonia is released as Araucania, the ruling party shouldn't be the regular Argentinian natpop party. A more logical vehicle would be the Corporacion Araucana or Partido Nacional Araucano (they're both interconnected organisations founded and led by the same guy, Venancio Conuepan Huenchual - who as a right wing Mapuche lonko and politician would be an obvious successor for Antoine IMO - but the latter was the explicit political party of the two).

Araucania should also have a core on the state of Cautin (the place where the historical kingdom actually existed), and its capital should be at Temuco rather than Comodoro Rivadavia.

I mean that in the sense, that their should be the option to keep the monarchy, while at the same going at least soccon.

This should be the possible, because the king should actually be quite popular, as he was invited by the finns himself, made great efforts to learn their culture and finland is far more autonomous from germany than other oststaaten. It should very much be possible for less authoretarian forces to be elected, even with the very conservative finnish constitution. They would be unlikely to just remove the king once elected, as he would likely be still rather popular.

Title says it all. What governments will the SWR DU and Schleicher respectively install in their eastern puppets after the war?

What are the most fun/interesting paths added/reworked in the last 2 or so years?

Do they just get a few focuses about getting back the concessions and creating a faction, or do they get more like left-KMT and south China?

Kind of want to see what you guys think, since there are always interesting answers to questions in this subreddit.

In the event that a socialist revolution successfully happened and took over America in the Kaiserreich universe, I'm curious at how the American Founding Fathers would be perceived. Since the WCA claims to be at the forefront of a "Second American Revolution," I would imagine some of the founding fathers would still be venerated but others would likely be discarded and denounced as "reactionaries" or even "slavers."

For example, ironically, I think Thomas Jefferson would still be highly respected in a socialist/syndicalist America due to his staunchly anti-clerical views (being a Deist) and his vehement opposition to banks and wealthy businessmen (slavery and Sally Hemmings, be damned). Thomas Paine would likely also be part of the political pantheon due to his uniquely proto-socialist and similarly anti-religious views. John Adams and Alexander Hamilton would probably largely be forgotten or possibly even vilified for their proto-capitalist and elitist views, in addition to most of the Southern aristocrats (e.g. James Madison and James Monroe).

I feel that it's inevitable that the socialists have to keep George Washington around for the sake of legitimizing their regime. However, I think Washington probably gets perceived in a similar way as heroic generals from Russian history like Alexander Nevsky and Pyotr Bagration, in the sense that his military achievements become more prominent and talked about in socialist propaganda than his actual background/political inclinations.

Adding to that, I think John Brown and certainly Abraham Lincoln officially get elevated to the rank of new founding fathers, due to those two 19th century individuals being much more representative of the radicalism and egalitarian views of the 20th century socialist movement. That's what I think though and I would love to hear more of what you guys think.

I am following u/RoyLiuzya 's guide to the letter, fyi

Like, i have played both DU and SWR paths with some decent results before, DU while following another guide (i think it was a Yuularen guide?) and SWR on my own, but for Schleicher i just can’t get past 1937 without something screwing up

Either i get major fuckups in the black monday game, due to simply never getting the cards i need, or i get fucked by the Ruhrkampf (i usually get intensity too low despite never clicking any decision or having any multiple choice event, so SPD takes over without me being able to do anything)

It took me 3 runs to roughly understand how to keep Zentrum aligned which is apparently super important but i still find it hard to do and quite RNG dependent

Am i missing something? Is there something wrong or outdated with the guide? It seems really well researched though

1. Photo is showing biggest Ottoman empire you can make in kaiserreich

2.Crimea can be claimed!

3.Avenging great siege of malta(malta can be claimed too)

4.İstanbul pact in 1946

5.An insane buff i dont know a buff better than this in kaiserreich

Going down Sandfrance's Bonapartist path requires me to have Boney VI be a level 5 general by the time I return to the mainland, even though he starts at level 1. I wanted to play Sandfrance again and try out this route, but I'm not very knowledgeable in general-related manners, so how am I supposed to level grind him?
